So instead of Politicians in Politics.
The Democraps bring in Sports Coaches to join the Actors and Celebrities.
The Republicans brought in a failed reality TV host with zero political experience.
Yep - he failed at being a 'Media' gimp.
As an 'amateur' in Politics, he seems to have done better than the so-called 'professional' in Biden who got
Trump was the biggest failure of a politician the US has ever seen.
No key policies implemented.
Impeached twice.
Lost the White House after one term.
Lost the Senate.
Lost the House.
Goes down in history as the worst US President ever (or in the bottom three in some lists).
So yeah, his performance in politics matches his performance in business, marriage, fatherhood, and running casinos - a complete & utter failure.
Biden, on the other hand, was a hugely successful politician going down in history as one of the most consequential Presidents ever.
Today's post (and from gweggy turd, every day's posts) is brought to you by the wordss Doublethink and Newspeak:
doublethink - reality control. The power to hold two completely contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accept both of them. Here is how Winston Smith described doublethink in the novel:
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully
constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety:
consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.'
Newspeak - The official language of Oceania. Newspeak is "politically correct" speech taken to its maximum extent. Newspeak is based on standard English, but all words describing "unorthodox" political ideas have been removed. In addition, there was an attempt to remove the overall number of words in general, to limit the range of ideas that could be expressed.
